1 Chronicles 9:17-26

17Now the gatekeepers were 1Shallum and Akkub and Talmon and Ahiman and their relatives (Shallum the chief

18being stationed until now at 2the king’s gate to the east). These were the gatekeepers for the camp of the sons of Levi.

19Shallum the son of Kore, the son of 3Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his relatives of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent; and their fathers had been over the camp of the Lord, keepers of the entrance.

204Phinehas the son of Eleazar was ruler over them previously, and the Lord was with him.

215Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the entrance of the tent of meeting.

22All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were 212. These were enrolled by genealogy in their villages, 6whom David and Samuel the seer appointed 7in their office of trust.

23So they and their sons 8had charge of the gates of the house of the Lord, even the house of the tent, as guards.

24The gatekeepers were 9on the four sides, to the east, west, north and south.

25Their relatives in their villages 10were to come in every seven days from time to time to be with 11them;

26for the four chief gatekeepers who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the chambers and over the treasuries in the house of God.
